CSZ News & Notes 2/3/14

There has been a lot going on in Louisville sports lately, highlighted by football commitments every 5 minutes (seems like it). So I figured I would get you all caught up here on what has been going on. Consider this your one-stop shop for recent Louisville news. But come back and check out the site later if you want to of course. There will be a lot of links in this post so if you haven’t been able to keep up with news lately, it is all laid out for you.

*National Signing Day is this Wednesday February 5. We will keep you updated on what players become official members of the Louisville football team. Always an exciting day. The day of the fax machine!

*Some people started to get worried about this year’s football recruiting class. Some of us laughed at those people, and for good reason. Petrino and his staff have been getting commitments left and right lately, and here they are (as of now)…

*Cornerback Trumaine Washington from Miami, FL committed to the Cards. He actually told the coaches he was committing while he was still on his visit to Syracuse, but kept it quiet until his visit was finished. He was clearly not impressed by the Syracuse-Duke basketball game.

*This is just a test to see if Steve checks out the site while he isn’t on the radio…WHAT IS THAT?!

*Another offensive tackle, Quincy McKinney, also committed to the Cards. He is from the JUCO ranks and is 6’4 and 310 lbs.

*Wide receiver Javonte Bagleycommitted to the Cards. He is 6’3 and from Vero Beach, FL. Check out his highlight tape; kid looks impressive. Apparently he has only been playing football for 2 years. Bobby Petrino has a way of finding the kids that the other big schools don’t know about, and he turns them into stars.

*A couple more Louisville football alum are now Super Bowl Champs! Congrats to Breno Giacomini and Greg Scruggs.

*The Spring Game will be April 11 this year. That is a Friday. I am predicting tornado-like weather already.

*The new basketball polls came out. The men are ranked 14th in the AP Poll and 10th in the Coaches Poll. The women are ranked 4th in the AP Poll, and that is awesome.

*Speaking of the women’s team, they have two games this week and both are on the road. They face UCF on Tuesday night and then a little matchup at top-ranked UConn on Sunday at 1:00. That game will be on ESPN.
